gcloud

gcloud

Provides access to gcloud, the command line client of Google Cloud to manage cloud resources.

Setup

Add this library to the classpath:

buildscript {
	dependencies {
	    ...
		classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.github.rmee:gcloud:<VERSION>'
	}
}

Example

A setup of Kubernetes with Google Cloud can looks as follows:

apply plugin: 'kubectl'
apply plugin: 'gcloud'

kubectl {
	url = 'https://35.198.168.245'
	namespace = 'default'
	insecureSkipTlsVerify = false
}

gcloud {
	keyFile = file("$projectDir/src/main/config/gcloud.key")
	zone = 'europe-west3-c'
	project = '...'
	gke {
		clusterName = 'sb4bdemo'
	}
	client{
		imageName = 'google/cloud-sdk'
		version = '159.0.0'
	}
}

• gcloud.key stores the service account credentials of Google Cloud.
• the gcloud plugin will reconfigure the kubectl plugin to share the same docker image in order to work together to perform authentication with glcoud.

To setup a service account use:

Make sure the service account also has the proper Kubernetes credentials, like:

./kubectl create clusterrolebinding your-user-cluster-admin-binding --clusterrole=cluster-admin [email protected]

Tasks

gcloud offers three Gradle tasks:

• gcloudActivateServiceAccount to perform the login.
• gcloudGetKubernetesCredentials to get the .kubeconfig to start working the kubectl plugin.
• gcloudSetProject called implicitly as dependency to set the current project.

Wrapper

A wrapper cloud will be generated into the project root to allow easy access from the command line next to Gradle tasks.
